4.0 out of 5 stars
Advent for the Youngest,
This review is from: Little Owl and the Star: A Christmas Story (Hardcover)
This picture book is designed for the youngest listener. It's simple and direct, containing a reference to waiting -- Owl was waiting. Then Owl follows the star to the manger visiting the participants in the scriptural story in sequence. Kids certainly know about waiting for Christmas presents to appear. The book refocusses that feeling of waiting on the Christ child's appearance. Unfortunately there isn't too much reinforcement of the idea in the story, so the reader/parent must recall the waiting feeling from time to time during the couse of the read aloud in asides to the child (which is very doable). Pictures are large and dynamic with occasional use of gold for a feeling of importance and coming festivity. A good companion book for Who is Coming to Our House? by Joseph Slate.
